My question is, what was different in the environment during the successful pilot production run vs the first attempted production run?

The answer is the operator.
Kim and Jon have been raising these worms for years. They are well versed in the specific needs of the strain.
The contractor knows the strain he has worked with for years.
Most likely the difference between the strains is what caused less silk than expected.
Solution is either get contractor to adjust process or give him more eggs at a time to compensate for the higher loss.
Kim will try the former first
